There have been a lot of extra kittens now due to the interruption of the virus. I am included in that number and did indeed wonder about the kittens getting along.
Above is a picture of litter # 1, born late last fall, there are six of them.
They were supposed to be fixed this spring along with the feral mom. Mom had other ideas, hence picture # 2
In the picture above Mom is at the very top of the picture. There are 4 from litter one and the 5 from the new litter from this late spring. They actually all got along fine, never had any fights or anything. It looks like kitty chaos but none of them ever got squashed.
They started doing the clinics again 2 months ago and I had appointments for 8 , the mom, 2 boys from litter one and all five of litter 2. That was about 2 months ago. Unfortunately I only manage to get one of the boys and 4 from the second litter because I got to confident in myself and thought I would have no trouble getting them into carriers. Mom totally freaked on me as she is feral and one of the little stinkers from group 2 bit me and made his escape. I had not planned on the 4 girls from group one getting done because they were in the process of having kittens.
Hence picture 3
So, I have 20 new 8 (mostly 8 weeks, some older some younger) week old kittens. They have in effect now formed a super litter where they are now all combined together because once they started moving around on their own there was no stopping them.
None of them fight with each other, I am amazed by that. They are all very peaceful. I am really hoping and planning that next month I will get the 4 moms taken care of and maybe the kittens also if they are big enough. I really didn't plan on my own colony.
So anyway, likely the kittens will all get along. And also likely you will get totally overwhelmed if you can't keep up with them.
I don't have a picture of the super litter yet.
